It's fun, Thanks to RW7K Andy who came to us especially for WAE SSB.
We had some noise for receiving 20 and 15 from USA during contest and lost 2
hours at second night on 40 mtrs tx/rx problems.
Thank you DF0HQ for good competions and congratulations fine result.
Anyway, we next year try make again .
See you RU1A CQ WW SSB M/S

Great contest, unexpected good propagation for summer time and great battle!
Thanks a lot to HG7T, DM6V, ES5Q and other European teams for the high spirit of competitions. Seems, we are just a few percent are ahead of all of them.
Anyway new all-time record of WAEDC is declared instead of our own in 2010 (see table below).
Used "inband" tower of RU1A (more than 400 meters far from the shack) with AD-3447 four-bander@20 meters and INV.V's for 80/160, while RW1A used main setup doing SOAB-MIX SO2R. So, often I was out of some bands during best hours due to high level QRM from him.

It's fun! We waited coming aurora in middle contest, but closed 20 mtrs in ending contest.
20 and 15 trs were money bands for us for points and Qso's.
If I again operatesd on 20 mtrs SOSB, I think more 5000 Qso's were possible...
Last 3 hours on 40 mtrs on USA/JA were very existing.

SO1R, before contest was broken SO2R
First time LP in WAE CW. I think, my mistake was too much S/P.
15 mtrs was vy bad condx, thanks to aurora. When all Europe was working NA, on my side lsn only few big guns, of course NO QTC, NO QSO in middle day. On 28 no lsn USA/VE, try many times check signals. Good condx 80 mtrs, ZM1A and ZL2IFB good ears, vy quicky qso's at first call. I try to call KH7XX at 16 z on 40 mtrs, was good signal but no lucky. It's good fun and experience, anyway.
See you WAEDC SSB , as HP :))
